Aside from when I completely done using certain makeup products or the seasons change and I need to switch up my wardrobe, I usually don't go shopping (because I am immersed in my academics and extracurriculars haha). This is why Boxing Day was the perfect opportunity for me to buy all the things I need for the upcoming year :) A list of the items mentioned in the above video:ANASTASIA Beverly Hills Tinted Brow Gel (in Brunette) ($29.00 + tax)

I tried this product out at Sephora and loved the look it gave my brows. The only worry I had when purchasing this brow gel was that the formula was too dry and not much product was on the spoolie. This brow gel is pigmented and I find that I can use it just on its own, without a brow pencil or shadow underneath.

Photo Credit: Anthropologie Inc.This has got to be the most adorable set of measuring devices I own! From smallest to largest, the measurements are 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and 1 cup. It is still on sale on their website so you should definitely check it out!

Photo Credit: Urban Outfitters *I couldn't find the link to the exact colour of my oxford shoes. However, here are the shoes in black and here are the shoes in a slightly different design.

The clutch I am holding is one inspired from one of my favourite designers, Alexander Mcqueen.

I looked out my window and saw my city still covered in ice and a fresh blanket of snow. As someone who adores winter, I just had to do at least one outdoor photoshoot before it all melted away. The glimmering snow contrasted my dark outfit so well and the scenery was just très bien. Hope all of you stay warm this winter season!

Throughout the past few weeks, I have been posting a variety of song recommendations on my Facebook page.

It's become such a common occurrence that I figured I should just post a blog post about these songs. Today's song recommendation theme is...

Cozy and Cuddly Korean Music

Lay Backby K.Will (케이윌)

I'm starting off this playlist with one of my favourite Korean singers of all time. I'm a huge fangirl when it comes to K.Will. This song is from his previous album - Love Blossom. I can't help but to shout the fan chants every time I hear this song. 넌 내 애인이고 사랑이고 운명이야 by 블루베리 (ft.파니니)

This song sounds like it could be an OST for Korean drama. The singer's voice is soft and sweet. I adore this song and it has been on replay for months now.

Still You (아직도 난)

by Donghae & Eunhyuk from Super Junior (슈퍼주니어)

My type of music: Relaxing, urban, and I adore the snaps in the background!

I'm In Love

by 나르샤 (Narsha ) from 브아걸 (Brown Eyed Girls)

You Deserve Better (충분히 예뻐)

Verbal Jint (ft. Phantom's Sanchez)

I've always been a huge fan of both Verbal Jint and Phantom. Sanchez compliments Verbal Jint's deep voice beautifully in this song.

눈사탕 (Snow Candy)

by 스타쉽플래닛 (Starship Planet)

An adorable MV to go with the bubbly Christmas song sung by Starship Planet's talented artists.

러브레시피 (Love Recipe)

by 클래지콰이 (Clazziquai)

Novabossa

by 클래지콰이 (Clazziquai)

Yet another song from one of my all time favourite bands: Clazziquai.

사랑이란 (Love is...)

by 마끼아또 (Macchiato)

너만 없다 (Gone)

by JIN (진)

JIN's debut single. The music video features EXO's Xiumin and Kim Youjung.

7 Years of Love (cover)

by Kyuhyun (조규현) from Super Junior (슈퍼주니어)

This song has been covered by countless artists before but I really enjoy listening to Kyuhyun sing it. He has a velvet voice and you can hear the emotions. In my opinion, Kyuhyun has one of the best voices in K-POP and I'm sure many would agree with me.

12월의 기적 (Miracles in December)

by EXO

I absolutely love the piano accompaniment in this song. I'm not a huge fan of this song in general but I included it anyway because I think the beginning and end of the song sounds beautiful. I do love the part when the trio sing together around the 2:30 mark.

The First Snow

by EXO

Enough with the Korean ballads! EXO's The First Snow is a cute Winter song. Personally, I prefer this song being sung in Chinese. However, I still love the Korean version. Click here for the Chinese version (初雪). In general, their entire Miracles in December album is great. I love all the songs in there.

Christmas Day

by EXO

Last EXO song....I promise! I cannot even begin to express how much I adore their live performance of this song. You can watch it here:

스치다 (Brushing Past)

by 준수 (Junsu) (ft. Lyn)

Even just the beginning of this song gave me goosebumps.

Love Falls

Lee Jonghyun from CN BLUE & Juniel

미슬토우 (Mistletoe)

Geeks (긱스) & Phantom (팬텀) & Esna (에스나)

This is one of the songs I posted onto my Facebook page. I love this special collab. because it features 2 of my favourite artists - Geeks and Phantom ♥

Saturday, December 21, 2013

Later that day, I met up with my family to celebrate my brother's birthday. We went to a Chinese seafood restaurant and had lobster. In the midst of attemping to take a photo of the lobster, the manager asked me if I wanted to take a photo with the lobster. And since I'm Sherry, I obviously said yes because I'm weird like that.
